Commenting on her project Hamisa wrote “For a long time I had a dream of starting a foundation where I could offer help to those in need. I feel that this is the right moment to set the foundation in motion as I now have support.I want to thank my fans for donating to the foundation and we are still receiving donations …Thanks for your help #Team Hamisa.”

The owner of Hamisa Mobetto Styles has released some t-shirts ahead of the official launch. She will be working with the help of The Original East Group of Activists in Africa.

Hamisa joins the increasing number of celebrities establishing foundations. Nairobi Diaries’ star Bridget Achieng recently launched her foundation on her birthday. A foundation that helps 1,000 children get their primary and secondary school education with the support of well-wishers and volunteers.
